A device for puncturing cortical bone. The device consists of a cannula and inside of it an axially movable needle. The distal end of the needle has an eccentrically shaped tip which, by drilling, forms a hole, larger than the outer diameter of the needle, through corticalis, whereupon the enclosing cannula can be inserted into the drilled hole. In this way the cannula's position in the bone is secured and the cannula functions as a fixed anchored guiding channel for further sampling or treatment.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A device for puncturing hard tissue in humans or animals, comprising:(a) a needle with a distal end and a proximal end; the needle having an outer diameter;(b) a drill tip disposed on the distal end of the needle, the drill tip having a maximum diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the needle, the drill tip having a drill point with a radial displacement in relation to an axial center of the needle, wherein the tip comprises a long cutter and a short cutter in a same direction of rotation of the drill tip when rotated, and the drill point formed at an intersection of the axes of the cutters;(c) wherein the long cutter extends to the outer diameter of the needle, and the short cutter extends to the outer diameter of the needle;(d) a cannula, including a distal end and a proximal end, forming an axial void;(e) the needle being removably and rotatably inserted within the void, having a length such that the distal end of the needle extends from the distal end of the cannula.
